Hi all, Perhaps some of you may be able to shed some light on the following. I have oracle express installed on a window machine. I have installed oracle instant client on my macbook and can connect with sqlplus and via a browser no problem. So far so good. Now I want to install OCI8 driver to use oracle with rails. I run the following command: > ruby setup.rb config -- --with-instant-client=/opt/oracle/instantclient10_1/ But it halts at this point: > checking for gcc... no > checking for LP64... no > checking for ruby header... ok > checking for OCIInitialize()... No I have no idea what's going on here. I have attached some logs & error messages below (apologies for length of this post). Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction? Many Thanks, Barry. -------------------------------------------- error message from command -------------------------------------------- checking for gcc... no checking for LP64... no checking for ruby header... ok checking for OCIInitialize()... no --------------- common error message -------------- If you use Oracle instant client, try with --with-instant-client. zip package: ruby setup.rb config -- --with-instant-client=/path/to/instantclient10_1 rpm package: ruby setup.rb config -- --with-instant-client The latest version of oraconf.rb may solve the problem. http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ruby-oci8/ext/oci8/oraconf.rb?cvsroot=ruby-oci8&only_with_tag=MAIN If it could not be solved, send the following information to kubo / jiubao.org. * error messages except 'common error message'. * last 100 lines of 'ext/oci8/mkmf.log'. * results of the following commands: ruby --version ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['host']" ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['CC']" ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['CFLAGS']" ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['LDSHARED']" ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['LDFLAGS']" ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['DLDFLAGS']" ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['LIBS']" ruby -r rbconfig -e "p Config::CONFIG['GNU_LD']" * if you use gcc: gcc --print-prog-name=ld gcc --print-prog-name=as * on platforms which can use both 32bit/64bit binaries: file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle file `which ruby` echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH echo $LIBPATH # AIX echo $SHLIB_PATH # HP-UX ------------------ error message ------------------ Could not compile with Oracle instant client.
